Description:

A pre-intervention quantitative risk factor analysis was performed at various shops and locations within Todd Pacific Shipyard, as a means to identify and quantify ergonomic risk factors that workers may be exposed to in the course of their normal work duties. The application of exposure assessment techniques provided a quantitative analysis of the risk factors associated with the individual tasks. Based on these analyses, four ergonomic interventions were suggested for the Todd Pacific Shipyard: 1) an ergonomics training program for all production workers, 2) an orbital nozzle mount for the water jet blasting process in the dry dock area, 3) industrial knee pads for workers as PPE and 4) wheeled, adjustable work stools for shipboard welders, torch cutters, and grinders where feasible. Of these interventions, it was expected that the development of the ergonomic training program would have significant impact on reducing musculoskeletal injuries at the shipyard. Other projects in ergonomics started at the shipyard beyond the initial scope of this project are also mentioned.
